ABSTRACT:
A necktie knot support assembly that supports a pre-tied knotted necktie which, when worn, advantageously provides a knot that is maintained away from the wearer's neck, so as to aesthetically resemble a non pre-tied necktie. The assembly includes a main body member that is shaped to determine the formation of the knot of the necktie, and a spring clamp that is adapted to inter-engage the main body member. The main body member has a central wall and a post that rearwardly extends outwards from the wall at an acute angle therefrom. The main body member is shaped to integrally include left and right wings that extend outward from the central wall and that preferably have respective top surfaces that extend outwardly in a substantially horizontal plane relative to the central wall. The main body member further preferably includes an integrally connected forwardly projecting nose portion. In addition, instead of including a post that extends away from the rear of the body member, the body member may include, integral therewith, a rear support member that abridges across the rear surface of the wall. The rear support member may extend from the central wall at an acute angle therefrom and includes a notch that is adapted to receive a portion of the necktie so that the necktie is retained on the assembly. A rectangular-shaped slot may be formed between the rear support member and the rear surface of the wall so that the assembly can be mounted on a jig via the slot, thus facilitating the tying of a necktie on the assembly.
